Is it OK to use on bamboo flooring? Thank you.

Yes. I have bamboo flooring on the main level of my house and have been using the product for about a year.

Yes it is. It says it is okay to use on hardwood, laminate, tile, marble, bamboo, vinyl and other sealed floors.

As I recall in reading before buying, it can be used on all hardwood floors. I do sem to recall bamboo being excluded so check on that. As with all flooring, be careful with how much water you squirt onto the floor and take the time to vacuum it up. Well worth the effort!

I tried it on my floors (solid wood Bamboo flooring). It was ok, I will probably try again in the future because I wasn't incredibly impressed and I want to see if maybe I can figure out some sort of trick to make it work better. It is safe for the wood flooring though. It will clean them but I didn't notice that it brought my wood surfaces "back to life" like the ad claims.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt?I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

Yes. I made a dining table and used bamboo flooring for the top. I didn't have the saw then, but had quite a bit of flooring left. I used the saw on the leftovers to make projects and gifts. It does not even notice that it's cutting the bamboo. I have made many, many cuts and the blade is still the original. Always, always cut with the good side down regardless of the material, but bamboo is especially prone to fraying when the blade comes through. Regardless of the tool you are using, the teeth of the blade should be impacting the good side. On this saw and a miter say it would be good side down, on a table saw it would be good side up. If you get this saw, remember it's not just for flooring, it is great for cutting any one-bys for any project. Hope this helps.

You shouldn't need to use anything except regular soap and water. This board seems to be treated/coated with something giving it more of that laminate feeling than my other bamboo boards, of which I have many. I may be mistaken but I have heard that wood boards are more anti-bacterial and require less care. In my opinion, bamboo boards, utensils, bowls, etc..clean up very very easily leading me to believe that they absorb little when in use. Just my opinion. The plastic mats on the other hand harbor a ton of bacteria over time, hence one for each food group. I only use my plastic mats for separating meats and will just "re-purpose" or "re-name" some of them when the original chicken, meat etc.. ones wear out.

No, have them on a new bamboo floor with no denting, scarring ...or anything bad. It's been a few months: so far, so good!

It's not widely known, but you have to oil your bamboo boards when you get them, and whenever they dry out. I use coconut oil, but you could use any edible oil. I found this out the hard way, too.

NO...the instructions say not to use on carpet or wooden floors. A simple fix is to buy four floor tiles at a home improvement center and put those on your carpet with the foot warmer on top. That is what I did and it works great.

Yes. It's sturdy bamboo that is a natural water resistant wood. Natural body oils (from your feet) also helps keep it resilient. If not used too often, just lightly swab it on BOTH sides with olive oil.

Yes it works fine on bamboo floors. Regardless of the wood, oak or bamboo floors, they both have a layer of polyurethane on top which is essentially what the products are cleaning.

I have not tried it on bamboo.I can't imagine why not but do not know for a fact.It is just a very convinent to use circular saw.Great for flooring but I have not tried bamboo

Absolutely it will work! You can fiddle with the pressure from the compressor to lighten the blow mentioned by Eric in his answer. For bamboo, I personally use a MIIIfc (cleater) for bamboo and prefinished flooring. The foot should be used to keep from damaging prefinished floor by having a slightly off side to side angle.

I would not....it will dry out and crack eventually. I use lemon and salt and sometimes just warm water and soap. You need to oil the bamboo once in awhile as well. I use palm oil.

Hi Tim. This felt is made to be used with floating floors. As long as your bamboo is not made to be glued or nailed down this may be an option for you. This does have the vapor barrier that is needed for a concrete installation but I would recommend consulting your flooring manufacturer to verify that this is acceptable and will not void or negate any part of your warranty.

I've used it on my hardwood floors and I didn't have a problem but I think it might depend on what kind of hardwood you have or whether you actually have laminate (and how hard/soft the wood is). I used it on Bamboo and solid Oak and there weren't any problems.
